Hi Guys!

Sorry I took a night off, but I had a maths exam that I had to study for so I'm sure you can forgive me. This chapter is more on Kiara which won't be as evident in the upcoming chapters, but will obviously still play a major part especially as I can talk about all her experiences. She's definitely not over her parents yet and should also be evident in the next chapter or so because I don't particularly wanter loiter around on it, but she does need to grieve. So I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chris seemed a little stunned and fell back on his back foot. He regained his posture and looked at her. She had the potential for the training, she was ready and willing, but she just reminded him too much of Allison, he couldn't bring himself to say yes.

"I'm sorry Kiara, but I just don't think I can do it, I'm sorry." A frown grew across her face and she went to turn away when she heard a strong voice from behind her.

"Chris, it's what Allison would have wanted. She would have wanted you to train her to and if you can't do it for Kiara or me, then do it for Allison. You know she would have trained Kiara if she was still here, so to carry on her memory train Kiara." It was Scott who was leaning against the wall. Kiara wasn't quite sure how long he'd been there, but he seemed to change Chris' mind.

"Scott's right Chris, it's what she would've wanted and if anyone would know what she would've wanted it would be Scott and you know it." Kiara was happy that Scott was sticking up for her and even Isaac who she hadn't met long ago was supporting her. Chris seemed to be thinking it over in his head and all the things he would have to do. He would have to start from the beginning all over again like he'd done with Allison. He seemed to lower his head as he spoke out.

"Okay I'll do it, but you will have to live here so I can train you and I warn it won't be easy and it will take time." Kiara smiled, well as much as she could smile after the events of the past few days.

"Thank you Mr. Argent, I will do my best and I have no problem living here since . . ." A tear grew in the corner of her eye and flowed down her cheek. The wound was still fresh and it would take some time to heal over, but this would help. Isaac moved out the door and embraced her; everyone at the apartment knew exactly how it felt to have people taken from you before their time at the hands of the supernatural.

"It's okay Kiara; we'll help you feel as good as you can, all of us." She smiled; it was nice to know that the pack would look after her. Scott thought that maybe it would be a good time to make a joke and reminisce old times.

"Hey Chris, let it be known she comes as a packaged deal. Liam will probably be around here a lot because they're together." Chris chuckled and groaned at the same time and buried his head in his hands.

"Again?" Kiara was confused, what did he mean 'again'?

"What do you mean again Mr. Argent?" Scott would have answered the question, but he wanted to know how much Chris actually knew about that time.

"Well when Allison and Scott were together my father came to town and to keep him safe I had to make them brake up, but literally every time we left the house for about an hour Scott would come over and him and Allison would spend the entire time together in her room. It really wasn't the best move to try keep Allison away from Scott because all it did was intensify their relationship. My wife Victoria before she . . . left us told me that she found out that the two of them were having sex and she was furious." Scott laughed remembering the time Victoria called him to the office and threatened him.

"You think she was furious? She called me to her office and threatened to shorten something that she was sure I wouldn't want shortened unless I stopped seeing Allison." The entire group couldn't help laugh. Although Victoria was a really mean woman she was strong and had a great sense of . . . humour. "Well I'll leave you here Kiara, if you need anything you can call and just come over and get your stuff whenever you need it and remember that we will all always be here for you if you need us. I took the liberty to tell Liam you were staying here and for him to come here when he can, so you should be seeing him sometime soon. Don't worry about school tomorrow, the rest of us will be there, but if you need anything call us okay?" Kiara liked how much Scott cared for her.

"Thanks Scott and if I need anything I'll call you guys. Bye" Kiara waved at Scott as he walked out of the apartment block and back to his bike. Kiara looked around the apartment and she noticed how homely it seemed. There were 3 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and everything you would need. There were pictures of Allison on the wall, some with Scott in them and Kiara noticed how much happier she seemed in all the pictures she had with Scott. It was like he brightened up her life and it was clear how much they loved each other, but it was hard to see Scott with anyone but Kira. There were pictures of Victoria and even a woman who looked about the right age to be Chris' sister.

"Her name was Kate if you were wondering." Isaac said watching Kiara as her eyes scanned over the pictures hung along the wall. She started to move down the hallway to the empty room. She got in and it was a wide open room with not much, but a desk, a chair, a bed and a bedside table. She sat down on the end of her bed and sprawled across it. She felt comfortable, well comfortable enough for a sleep. Before she fell asleep Chris poked his head into the room.

"We won't start training until you're ready Kiara, so we'll just be out in the living room if you need anything and by the way call me Chris."

"Thanks Chris, for everything." She smiled to Chris before crawling up on the bed and falling into a deep sleep.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Scott arrived back at the house when he walked in and could hear the shower running. Was it Jade or Kira? Maybe Kira had gone home, but Scott didn't think she would leave without sending him a text or leaving him a message. Scott move up the stairs and into his bedroom to see Kira lying there reading a book. He moved towards her and sat down on the bed. As it crumpled beneath his weight Kira put down her book and looked towards him.

"How'd it go with Argent and why did she want to see him?"

"She wanted to ask him to train her as a hunter and he said yes. It will be really good for her and I think it might help her with her emotions." Kira smiled as Scott moved further back on the bed until he was sitting up next to her.

"That's great, I hope it is a good way for her to release her emotions and I think you're right, it should help her because she just needs to let all her emotions out." Kira just smiled at Scott as she pulled him closer to her and pressed her lips against his as he reached out to place a hand on her cheek.

"You know I noticed something earlier."

"What was it?"

"I noticed that in the past month you've become a lot less shy and you've become a lot more . . . open." Kira smiled.

"Well we can thank you for that and I've had to become less shy because of all the changes with the pack and I need to feel comfortable with them all and it's hard to do that when you're shy, plus if I was shy I'm not sure I'd be able to do this." Kira flipped herself over a moved on top of Scott and pressed her lips to his again and began running her hands through his hair and he moved his to her waist.

"Um could you two cool down for a second?" Kira lifter her head and turned it around to see Jade at the door drying her hair with some simple clothes on. Scott moved his head to the side so he could see Jade properly past Kira.

"Is something wrong Jade?" She laughed and a look of panic quickly spread across her face.

"Yes there is. Lydia set me up on a date and I don't know the guy, but she said he's a really great guy and I really need help getting ready." Kira laughed moving herself off of Scott and towards Jade at the door.

"Wow trading this for helping her get ready for a date!" He motioned to himself and spoke in a sarcastic tone. Kira poked her tongue out at him as she turned the corner down to Jades room. He laid back on the bed trying not to think about anything particularly when Stiles walked into the room.

"Hey Scott." Scott moved back into the position he was in only moments ago before speaking.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Not much I'm just worried." Scott's face changed a little into one of confusion.

"Worried about what?"

"The creature that chased Jade and Deucalion into Beacon Hills. I'm just worried that we haven't seen it."

"We will deal with that later, but I think for now, we just need to recover from the past events. You should go talk to Malia, see how she's dealing with Peter's death." Stiles nodded knowing that Scott was right that although Peter wasn't Malia's 'father' he was still her parent and that had to hit her hard somehow. Scott slumped back down onto the bed for the second time as Stiles left the room.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Stiles had left in his Jeep to find Malia and he thought his best bet was Derek's loft. He pulled up outside the building and sure enough her car was parked there. He went up in the industrial elevator. When he got to the top the giant door was in his way. The others had made it look easy to open, so he took his grip on the door and pulled with all his strength, but it didn't even budge a centimetre. That was when he remembered that all the people he had seen open it easily were werewolves with supernatural strength in their arsenal. That was when the door was pulled open from the other side and Malia was standing right there in the doorway.

"Stiles you really couldn't open the door?"

"Well it's heavy and unlike most of you guys I don't have supernatural strength and I don't think I would look great buff, so I'm sorry." Malia didn't smile which was a sign that something was wrong.

"What are you doing here Stiles?"

"What do you mean what am I doing here? I'm here for you, to help you."

"There's nothing to help me with Stiles, I came to see Derek and he's not here." Stiles grabbed her hands with his.

"Malia we both know that's not why you're here. You're here because although Peter was an awful person he was still your dad and it had to hurt seeing him like that."

"Stiles I'm not sad about Peter he was a monster and you guys said it yourselves."

"The thing is that no matter how horrible of a person he was, Peter was still your dad." Malia pushed her way past Stiles and out of the loft leaving him standing there at the door. Stiles sighed and rubbed his head with his hands. What was he going to do about Malia?

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Liam had gone to see Kiara. He was knocking on Argents door when he heard some crying. The door opened and Argent was standing at the door.

"Hi Liam, Scott said you would be around. She's in the back room."

"Thanks." Liam moved into the back room and saw Kiara curled up on the bed with tears running down her cheeks. He moved to her side and placed his hand on her cheek.

"Kiara are you okay?" Her eyes splintered open and the light came back to her eyes.

"Liam what's wrong you look worried?"

"I'm worried because you were crying in your sleep Kiara. You need to talk to me Kiara otherwise this will just eat you from the inside out." Kiara swiped the tears falling from her eyes and down her cheeks.

"How do you know what I'm feeling Liam?"

"I know how you feel Kiara because it's how I felt when my dad died and if you think I'm wrong then talk to Scott and he will tell you it was the exact same thing when Allison died. You just need to talk to us Kiara. Nothing can change what happened, but we can help you through it." She just sat up and Liam pulled her into an embrace as she let out all her emotions onto his shoulder. Isaac and Argent came rushing to the door and saw Liam holding Kiara. They backed away from the door and went back to what they were doing as Kiara continued crying on Liam's shoulder.

"It's just that I thought I had more time with them and it's just . . ." Liam rubbed his hand up her back trying to comfort her.

"Kiara I know and you'll send days and days thinking about how you could have saved him, but you need to look forward rather than back." She buried her head deeper into his shoulder.

"Thank you for being here for me Liam." He continued rubbing his hand up and down her back and doing everything he could to comfort her.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Scott was fast asleep when a shift on the bed woke him up. His eyes splintered opened as his view of Kira came back.

"How'd it go with Jade?" Kira laughed a little and a smile spread across her face.

"Well she's not worried anymore and she's going to enjoy her date . . . I hope, but right now I want to get back to where we were. Kira places her lips on his. This time it was Scott who pulled away from the kiss.

"Kira I want to take you somewhere just let me get ready." Kira sighed, but was happy he wanted to take her somewhere.

"Okay I'll give you 5 minutes." Scott rushed out of the room to sort something out. It was about 6 minutes later when he came back.

"Let's go." Scott hurried over to Kira's side and laced his fingers with hers and pulled her out the door. Before they could reach the bike Kira wanted to ask a question.

"Scott, where are you taking me?" Scott's face lit up as she asked her a question.

"Somewhere where I never take anyone unless they find me there." It sounded interesting to Kira because when Scott sometime had free time he would disappear and no one was able to find him.

It was about 10 minutes after they had left the house when they arrived at the graveyard. Kira was wondering why Scott would bring her to a graveyard and that's when she figured it out. This was probably the place Allison was buried. Scott pulled her through the cemetery until they got to a grave and sure enough it was Allison's. Scott turned towards her, kissed her and began to speak.

"I've never brought you here before because I always thought it might make you uncomfortable coming to her grave with me, but the truth is that I love you and I think you're bigger than having problems about me coming to see the grave. I learnt that from Jade when she found me here."

"Wait Jade found you here? How?" Scott looked like it took him a while to think about the question and then answered it.

"She said it makes her feel closest to her family, who were buried in a cemetery not far from Beacon Hills after the accident they had." Kira smiled and just clung to Scott.

"You should have known that I wouldn't have a problem with you coming here. I know you love me and I know she still means a lot to you."

"That really means a lot to me Kira, thank you." Scott and Kira sat down and began talking about all the interesting things that had happened in Beacon Hills over the past couple of weeks, they talked to her about the Benefactor, about Peter and about Kate. When they got up to leave only about an hour later Kira turned to Scott and decided to speak up.

"I knew you cared about the pack always and even after they were gone, but you know what? Seeing you like this just makes me love you more. You know a lot of guys wouldn't admit to their girlfriends that they were sad about the death of their ex. It takes a lot of emotion and strength to do that and it also takes stability and the fact that you told me shows me that you love me more than anything else you've ever done for me." Scott smiled as he ran a hand down her cheek as he caressed it.

"More than anything I've ever done?" Scott said with a funny tone as he slowly pulled Kira closer towards him. She bit her bottom lip a little.

"Yes, more than anything." Scott placed his lips on hers and it was like the world didn't matter anymore as if the only thing that mattered was each other.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Looking from behind the bush he saw the boy kissing the girl and holding her in his arms. They looked happy a rather like Jade does, but now is not the time for sentiment. The time to strike is quickly coming upon him and he had to be ready for it.

AUTHORS NOTES

Hey Guys!

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this chapter and how I wrote it, but I'll stick by it. There was a little foreshadowing at the end, Kiara with her 'adoptive' family, some Stalia and some Scira. I like the chapter, but its just a little myeah.

.Should Deucalion stick around if I continue after this arc (should be around chapter 30)?

As always I appreciate all your support for this story and as long as people are enjoying it, I'll keep writing it.

P.S If you're looking for a bit more of a Scira story that's not anywhere as lengthy as this, but I will update every now and then, read this s/10685343/1/Can-You-Forgive-Me and if you're wondering yes I did write it. I don't plan to progress the story as much as this one, but I would still like to take it somewhere. It will be more fluff than this story which sometimes when I'm writing these chapters, doesn't seem possible hahaha. See you next Chapter!
